Searching for UK link to Henry Pybas (Probably originally Pybus). He lived in North Carolina till his death in the late 1700's. His will is dated 1782. He was married to "Mary". His property was along both sides of the Trent River.

He worked with wood (builder/cabinet maker?). He traded his work for land. Common family names for males are John, James, and William.

Possible relationship to Sir John Pybus of the West Indies or to pirates in carribean.

Any comments helpful and any quirey answered..

Surnames: Pybas, Pybus, Blair
Hello,
I have been working on trying to find something about a Pybus family which are close matches at 67 markers to my brother's DNA. The oldest ancestor they know is a John Kerr Pybus, who lived, married, and died in Gorham Twp., Ontario, NY. His wife was Estella Cody. The interesting thing I found was that another close match was a man with the surname "Lamm", which was originally spelled "Lamb", and which was in Duplin County, NC. I believe these folks were connected to your Henry (died 1786 I believe) and Mary Pybas of Jones County, NC. I saw that there is a descendent of Henry and Mary named "James Blair Pybas". Blair is my father's surname. I believe your Henry Pybas connects back to the Pybus family in New York I mentioned earlier. Not specifically, John Kerr Pybus, but his earlier ancestors. I believe the Pybus family goes back to the early Puritan settlers of Massachusetts. Do you know where the Blair middle name came from? So basically, I am saying that you need to look farther up the east coast for possible ancestors of your Henry.
